NAsHvIrLR (Tenn.l, March IA
very large audience listened TO speech
tonight delivered By Senstof Sherman
on the invitation Of the Repabliean
members Of the Legislature Of fennes-
zee. Senator Sherman said he accepted
the invitation. believing that fair pre-
sentstion made 70 the people OF Tennes-
see without distinction Of party on the
aims and PFiRcipiss Of the Republican
PARTY, beth past and for the future,
might induce them TO join in q public
policy that viii contribute 70 the inter
ests OF the people of Tennessee and the
whole country more and greater dement's
and advantages than can possibly be
conferred upon them b. the Democratic
party.
He continued: 81 have felt that the
differences that grew out Of the var now
bold a large body Of honest and patRi-
otto oitiz-ns Of the South from cooper
atiD2 with the Republican party, wbe,
IN my Judgment, are now IN sympathy
with rs and whe. perhaps, might be
able 10 dissip4te these preiudlces By q
frank statement Of the views which
have sctusted the Republican party In
the past. and thus bring rs ints 90 OF
Grafton in the measures tending to ad-
vance the commsn interests and pros
perity Of our country. AT all events, I
feel cee fdent that the people Of Ten
nessee, who from the very earliest set
ts ment have been distinguished for
their courage and Independence, viii
give stranger among them fair hear
ing Of bis honest opinions"
After dwelling on bis political life,
Sherman said /: Estate rights AZ dis
tioeuished from NatiosaI authority
have been disturb ng element in Amer
ican politics to the people at large.
Both the state and Nation are convent
enI agencies for the exercise of dissiRet
and separate powers fer the common
good to the individual citizens. They
are ali OF distinct and separate rights
and privileges for which We owe ale
glance and duly. They are not hostile
spheres, but like planets moving in the
grand harmony Of the universe. in
friendly cooperation, but the whole
people, and nothing hut the whole peo-
pie, that Is the governing paramount
power Of eur system. This is, az least,
she theory that have been taught, and
IL any Of you reared in a different school,
have inherited the jealousy and suspi-
cion Of federal authority, aud of the
speciaI reverence for that of ths State
OF Tennessee, you may find In this the
germ of the controversy fought out IN
the war. II i understand the principles
of the Republican party, would say
they are embraced 10 the trinity of
Union, Constitution and Coantry-tbe
preservation Of the Union, the mainte
nance OF the full powers Of the Consti-
tuition, and the growth, prosperity and
grandeur Of the Country Ia all its parts,
as it now is and is TO be. These were
the ideas of the wisest stateman in
American history, and now since they
have been Fsaf6rmed by the war, there
is nothing TO divide American citizens
by sectional lines bat prejudice and
passion"
The speaker then devoted himself to
other controversies which led TO the
var OF the rsbellisp, and TO the features
of the strife relating to Tennessee.
"When the var vas over" said Sher-
man, "the people of the North heartily
approved of the generous terms granted
by Gen, Grant to Gen. Lee and the Con
federate troops, and wished that the
people of the South should be restored
TO all their rights and privileges, subject
only TO such conditions IS honor and
good faith seemed to demand, arising
out Of the proclamation Of President
Lincoln for emancipation OF slaves.
Beth sides felt that the abolition OF
slavery wss the necessary result OF the
war, and ID seemed 20 us as II the slaves
were to be free, they must be armed With
the privileges OF free men. and these
we're secured to them by the constitu-
tional amendment. The attempt TO en-
force these riohtsby National authorities
have thus far partially failed, and nov
il is considered under the Limitations OF
The constitution that the rights Of cit
izsn Of State can only be enforced
through State or Estional tfibunsis,

trust that the tins is not far distant
uhen the people Of every State viii feel
IL to be both just and txpedient that
every citizen OF the State shall be pro

Of every right and privilege conferred
